Thank you @Starbucks for walking the walk when it comes to #equalpay & #paidleave. Now hoping more companies follow your lead & create more equitable workplaces for ALL!
Proud to announce we've achieved 100% pay equity for all US partners—but the work isn't done. We're committed to and working on doing the same globally. 💚 #EqualPay

Today, Aug. 26, is #WomensEqualityDay. The date commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, which secured women’s right to vote on Aug. 26, 1920. It's also a time to acknowledge the amendment didn’t further the equality of all women. #WomenofColor
